Ames

Summary

I grew up in Ames my whole life, went to Ames High School graduated, and immediately started working. I worked for a few years and decided I wanted to go to school and decided on the Fire Science program at DMACC Ankeny campus to try and pursue a career in the fire service. I am now working full time still while also going to school. I highly enjoy working in hard conditions and with others allowing myself to constantly be learning new things while also remaining hands-on.
